Sure! I totally get it. I guess it's because this particular article wasn't created in the wake of breaking news (it's been around since this was in the news back in May), this feature style might work better for those kinds of articles. But I digress! I'll see what Jeff thinks. :)

Yeah that makes sense, didn't look at the article, but think if there is a way to call out the on-wiki actions rather then just repeating the news story (the facebook post does this well) it is more appealing if you've already heard the news.

I'm a little hesitant to mention the editing of the article since a lot of it is background - there's like, one sentence on these developments. There's likely more being added to [[Sepp Blatter]] itself, possibly - I'll look that up.

Thanks for the feedback though!

I love the extra detail on this Joe!

For the twitter one I'd try to find some way to mention the editing. Perhaps:

Wikipedia editors respond as FIFA President Sepp #Blatter is "provisionally suspended" https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/10/07/blatter-fifa-suspension-hurricane/

?

Re timing, personally I was thinking share now to capitalize on the lull where they don't have much to feed them and then re share or "update" the article with notes about the changes (with a reshare then) but i bow to you and Jeff etc if waiting is better.

Note on this - it looks likely that Sepp Blatter will be suspended proper by the end of the week. We might want to wait for that to happen and pounce on that when it's fresh.
